Utility vehicle for moving rainfall

我请求NSERC提供资金支持，购买一辆全地形车（约翰迪尔鳄鱼）和一个水容器/喷洒装置，以支持实地实验，阐明全球气候变化（GCC）对植物繁殖和进化的影响。该车辆将用于在位于多伦多大学Koffler研究站（KRS）的相隔遥远的实验场地之间移动大量的水（每次120加仑）、设备和研究人员。虽然KRS是一个充满活力的研究机构，但道路密度低使得实验场研究人员难以进入相关土地。这一运载工具是初始设置和维护计划实验的基础。

I am requesting financial support from NSERC to purchase an all-terrain vehicle (John Deere Gator) and a water container/spraying setup to support field experiments that will illuminate the consequences of Global Climate Change (GCC) for plant reproduction and evolution. The vehicle will be used to move large volumes of water (120 gallons per trip), equipment, and researchers between distantly spaced experimental plots located at the University of Toronto's Koffler's Research Station (KRS). Though KRS is a vibrant research facility, the low density of roads makes much of the associated land less accessible to experimental field researchers. This vehicle is fundamental to the initial set up and maintenance of planned experiments.
